Chennai, Aug 24: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Sunday hit out at Union Home Minister Amit Shah for targeting Opposition vice presidential candidate, Justice B Sudershan Reddy over Naxalism.
The Centre could not end Naxal-based extremism and in order to hide its incompetence, Justice Reddy was labelled a “Naxal” by Shah, the chief minister alleged.
Addressing a meeting of leaders of INDIA bloc, its MPs from Tamil Nadu in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha to support justice Reddy, the chief minister said Justice Reddy was fully qualified and deserved to be the vice president and that was why he was nominated by the INDIA bloc as its candidate.
Justice Reddy was in Chennai on Sunday to seek support from DMK and its friendly parties in the state. (PTI)
